The Halloween costume and other videos

The Fall Festival was a smashing success! Well, maybe a modest success. Because of her crappy last-minute homemade costume, she wasn’t the most diligently decorated kid at the festival parade, but she clearly wasn’t the least decorated. Her pre-existing lion costume paired with a homemade “lion” shirt proved sweetly well-done.

Maybe her lion roar is a little less than fierce. But to her credit, she wound her way through the parade route without tripping on her paws, crying or running to us when she saw us rooting her on. Strangely, though, she became mute, sticking her tongue out the entire parade (and for the next 30 minutes — we were lucky to get the interview that appears at the end of the video) as though the pomp of it rendered her overwhelmed and thus speechless. Or maybe lions just stick out their tongues a lot. Stop judging her.

Too precious! I think that you did a fabulous job with her costume. Sometimes a cheap costume is better than an expensive one. HJ seemed to enjoy being a lion. Her “rawr” in the interview was just the most adorable thing!
